Newest firstCannabis use is widespread, with genetic differences partly explaining variation in individual patterns of use. We performed the largest-to-date genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of cannabis ever-use (N=736,322, 76% European ancestry) and various measures of frequency of use (N=269,160 cannabis users, 84% European ancestry). We identified 54 independent genome-wide significant loci for ever-use an…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Genetic research on nicotine dependence has utilized multiple assessments that are in weak agreement. Methods We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of nicotine dependence defined using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-NicDep) in 61,861 individuals (47,884 of European ancestry [EUR], 10,231 of African ancestry, and 3,746 of East Asian ancestry) and compared the…
Background Cross-sectional studies have identified health risks associated with epigenetic aging. However, it is unclear whether these risks make epigenetic clocks 'tick faster' (i.e. accelerate biological aging). The current study examines concurrent and lagged within-person changes of a variety of health risks associated with epigenetic aging. Methods Individuals from the Great Smoky Mountains Study were followe…
